				<div class="class-description"><p>This module offers a variety of ways to implement loops in TSL. In it's basic form it's:</p>
<p>However, it is also possible to define a start and end ranges, data types and loop conditions:</p>
<pre><code class="language-js">Loop( { start: int( 0 ), end: int( 10 ), type: 'int', condition: '&lt;' }, ( { i } ) => {
} );
</code></pre>
<p>Nested loops can be defined in a compacted form:</p>
<pre><code class="language-js">Loop( 10, 5, ( { i, j } ) => {
} );
</code></pre>
<p>Loops that should run backwards can be defined like so:</p>
<pre><code class="language-js">Loop( { start: 10 }, () => {} );
</code></pre>
<p>It is possible to execute with boolean values, similar to the <code>while</code> syntax.</p>
<pre><code class="language-js">const value = float( 0 ).toVar();
Loop( value.lessThan( 10 ), () => {
	value.addAssign( 1 );
} );
</code></pre>
<p>The module also provides <code>Break()</code> and <code>Continue()</code> TSL expression for loop control.</p></div>
